The SBT90.2 is the king of LEDs when it comes to throw. But unfortunately, the 6,000 lumens claim is way off and the performance drops to abysmal levels after ANSI... Almost all sites that lumen tested it peg it right at 4,000 lumens at startup and at the 1 minute mark drops to 200 lumens before 2 mins. Unfortunately, this seems to be prevalent across most entry-level SBT90.2 throwers. Capable of drawing more than 20Amps, single cell in direct drive just can't keep up after thermals take off. You have to go to the buck drivers of the larger lights to get any usable sustain output from these SBT90.2 throwers.... Having said all that, you'd be hard pressed to get an SBT90.2 for less than $70 like this Wurkkos. It's a good starter if you want your first SBT90.2.
Couldn't agree more. We have a lumen tube on the way so we can do on screen testing, but for now we can only go by manufacturer specs. It seems quite bright though, but it is always hard to tell with these long distance throwers.
@@torchesandtactical When you will do that test? I thought that flashlight is the best choice, being small, but..lasting time. -and secondly, can you or others recomand a powerfull not so heavy headlamp?
I have to go with the Catapult V6 Pro. Have both I have done field tests on the Wurkkos and the Catapult Pro with the Catapult winning on range as well as brighter hotspot. The Wurkkos has a more greener tint and honestly I don't think that the 90.2 is suitable for edc flashlights. The 90.2 functions better with higher voltage output which Wurkkos had to work out a bare minimum voltage output in order to keep the runtimes which aren't that impressive. Note : The Catapult v6 Pro can run the SFT 70 on turbo for 9 minutes, the Wurkkos starts stepping down depending on weather around 60 seconds. If Wurkkos swapped the led to the SFT 70 they would give Thrunite a run for its money. Runtimes and output matters buy if these flashlight companies try to over do it and bringing lower runtimes it becomes nothing more than a novelty flashlight. I know the RUclips channel giving the review is trying to give his best review on this Wurkkos but the real honest accesment comes from those like myself who use these flashlights daily for the things we do.
Hi. I own a fc12 and I like how it takes one click to go in max brightness. Does the ts30s pro do the same? One click into the 6000lumen, so that it is useful in defensive situations?
My honest opinion, nothing has dethroned the Cyansky HS3R yet. Small, very lightweight, can be removed and used as a right angle light and the headband is incredibly comfortable.
hey brotha , would happen to have anything to trade/swap possibly ? around 3000 lumens like my klarus g15 , i need strobe n #21700 battery in it also, thanks n talk soon bro > tom !
Finally! Lol. I’m happy to see my footage made the thumbnail
It did! Lol. Thank you again. I gave credit in the video during my beamshots. 😊
I have a few 90.2 LED lights. Need to grab the TS30S PRO... I have 3 of the TS30S....
James, send me an email! It's in the 'about' tab of our channel page.

The SBT90.2 is a killer LED, coupled with the right optic and bam!
This SBT90.2 really throws. We should hopefully have a quad SBT90.2 light on the channel soon!
@@torchesandtactical Looking forward to it.

Does the ts30s pro do the same?
One click into the 6000lumen, so that it is useful in defensive situations?
The TS30S Pro has Anduril 2 software inside, so you could configure it to go to turbo, but typical is double press to turbo.
This is the best compact flashlight, small, light and powerfull.
Which one is the best headlamp?
My honest opinion, nothing has dethroned the Cyansky HS3R yet. Small, very lightweight, can be removed and used as a right angle light and the headband is incredibly comfortable.
How do you get the blue light on the switch On? Does it consume the battery fast? Thanks !!!
The TS30S Pro has Anduril so once you are in advanced mode, it should be seven clicks to turn on the auxiliaries in the switch.
How does this compare to the Convoy L8 with a 26800 battery?
Unfortunately, we don't have an L8 to compare, but our buddy @marcgossling8260 has an L8 in his comparison video. :)
Essa WURKOS é Superior
...Does anyone know where to purchase the TS30 or TS30S, with the super-aggresive bezel still? Thanks!
Send me an email at torchesandtactical@gmail.com
@@torchesandtactical ... Sending now! Thanks!
@@torchesandtactical ... Sent!
Does 6000 lumens last a hour and 30 mins?
It'll run for 1.5 hours, but won't hold that brightness the entire time. Heat throttles it back.
never
Another great one mate love how they performed in the dark amazing 🎉🎉
Thank you! I wish I had my footage, but the SD card failed, big time.
👍
Heck yeah it is!

Nothing currently, but after a couple of giveaways, we are going to be setting up a way to look at ALL of our current offerings. 🙂
@@torchesandtactical ok, email me or email you soon here bro, THANK YOU , COUNT ME IN 1000% for those great g.a.w.'s going on , talk soon bro > tom !
